Sometimes the day to day events in life feel like a dream….

Like a giant hoax that one day I might wake up from. However it’s nothing that I could resist. We know what events merged together to put us here. We choose safe over adventure and that’s why we’re here.

Sometimes I feel that there are two of each of us in this world. Person A is the person that wakes up at 6:00am, takes a shower, brushes their teeth while the coffee maker gurgles and steams in the background. Person A is undoubtedly responsible and gets those little things done. Then there’s Person B. Person B is sitting in the cockpit of Person A watching all this go on wondering what’s the point?

Person B would skip work, drink all the cheap whiskey in the cabinet, smoke the rest of the pack, then take off unannounced to somewhere, anywhere, without a care for money, food, life, or anything… yet, Person A keeps B grounded like the blind scales of justice. Person A doesn’t condemn, just keeps the balance– keeps us maintained on a road we’ve chosen for the moment. Without Person A we’d die of disease, malnutrition, or something; without Person B we’d die of a mundane and loveless life.

We’re probably created as such beings for a purpose. Our duality is what makes life challenging and fair. Perhaps it’s necessary, perhaps it could be broken, perhaps it is a dream-state… and if it all was… I’d be happy enough with it.
